Nostalgia & History > BC ElectricDate: 02/19/07 19:03 BC Electric Author: Edwardjb Vancouver, BC, about 1961. Are there any decent writings about this operation?
Ed  Date: 02/19/07 21:40 Re: BC Electric Author: filmteknik Which way does the arrow on the other side face?
Date: 02/19/07 21:58 Re: BC Electric Author: Edwardjb Arrow goes same way. It is a visual aid for challenged operators who aren't sure which way to run the train. It helped keep the payroll down.

Gonut Date: 02/20/07 17:45 Re: BC Electric Author: Daveb There was an article about this line in the last year or two. I think it was in The Railroad Press (TRP). My memory isn't what it used to be but you should be able to find it with a little Googlin'
